To Amarantha, that she would dishevel her hair

I read this poem (by Richard Lovelace) as a young teen and always thought it sounded so mysteriously romantic--both the poem, and the name Amarantha. I wouldn't ever use this name, but I was thinking some other people on this board might appreciate hearing it as a name idea. ;

I've also always loved the name Lenore, as in "the lost Lenore" from Poe's "The Raven." And then there's my own daughter's name, Tirzah, which was apparently in a poem called "To Tirzah" by William Blake.Other romatic names from poems are Evangeline from a Longfellow poem, and Anabelle Lee from another Poe piece.What are some of your favourite poem names, both girl and boy names? Would you use them?
